Abstract

A layered food structure comprises: a filling layer; and two food packaging layers, which are respectively located on both sides of the filling layer and sandwich the filling layer together. Each of the food packaging layers includes a plurality of shaped units, each of which is a wheat or gluten-free component and is not in the shape of a rice grain. The shaped units are connected to each other by at least one protein and at least one edible glue and form a round cake-shaped structure.

Description

Layered food structures and food packaging

This invention relates to a layered food structure, in particular to a hamburger-like layered food structure and food layer made of non-rice grains.

In recent years, fast food products have been widely loved by most consumers due to their diverse flavors and fast and convenient eating characteristics, and hamburgers are the main staple food of general fast food. Currently, hamburgers are made of two pieces of hamburger bread with stuffing sandwiched in the middle. However, hamburger breads of various brands are mostly made of ordinary bread or rice grains, and the taste and flavor are mostly similar, and the shape is also lacking in novelty. Therefore, if a hamburger with a different shape and taste can be designed, it will be more attractive to consumers and increase sales.

Therefore, in order to allow consumers to have different levels of flavor experience in terms of vision and taste and achieve the enjoyment of multiple flavors, it has always been the goal pursued in this technical field.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a layered food structure using a layered middle sandwich to wrap a filling body, and to have food packaging layers with multiple shapes and flavors.

In order to achieve the above and other purposes, the present invention provides a layered food structure, comprising: a filling layer; and two food packaging layers, which are respectively located on both sides of the filling layer and sandwich the filling layer together, each of the food packaging layers includes a plurality of shaping units, each of the shaping units is gluten-free or wheat-based and is not in the shape of rice grains, and the shaping units are connected to each other by at least one protein and at least one edible glue to form a round pancake-shaped structure.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , which show a first embodiment of the novel layered food structure, including a filling layer 10 and two food packaging layers 20 .

The two food packaging layers 20 are respectively located on both sides of the filling layer 10 and sandwich the filling layer 10. Each of the food packaging layers 20 includes a plurality of shaping units 21 and an edible adhesive unit (not shown). Each of the shaping units 21 is made of wheat ingredients, including wheat, rye (naked wheat) and barley, but the shape is not rice grains.

Each of the shaping units 21 may also be gluten-free, for example, it may be made from rice such as rice, glutinous rice, glutinous rice or millet, thus containing the nutrients of rice, or it may be made from corn, potato, quinoa, buckwheat, soybean, coix seed, etc., but in a shape other than rice grains.

The edible adhesive unit includes at least one egg white and at least one edible glue. The shaping units 21 are connected to each other by the edible adhesive unit to form a food packaging layer 20. After being steamed and baked, the food packaging layer 20 is pressed into the round pancake-shaped structure by a mold.

In this embodiment, the layered food structure is, for example, a hamburger. The contents of the stuffing layer 10 may include various types of steaks, eggs, vegetables, fruits, seasonings, sauces, etc., depending on the taste of the hamburger. In this embodiment, the stuffing layer 10 is steak, eggs, and vegetables in order from top to bottom, but is not limited thereto.

Please refer to Fig. 2, which is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the novel food packaging layer. The shape of each of the shaping units 21 of each of the food packaging layers 20 is a wide noodle shape, so that each of the food packaging layers 20 presents an appearance like a bird's nest.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the second embodiment of the novel layered food structure is substantially the same as the first embodiment, except that the shape of each of the modeling units 21 of each of the food packaging layers 20 is macaroni-shaped, which still adds Italian flavor to the novel layered food structure. The adhesive is egg white plus an edible binder, which is applied to the surface of the modeling units 21 so that the modeling units 21 can be connected to each other and aggregated into a round cake-shaped structure.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the third embodiment of the novel layered food structure, in this embodiment, each of the shaping units 21 is in the shape of a spiral noodle, which gives the novel layered food structure a novel appearance, and consumers will associate the spiral noodle appearance of each shaping unit 21 with the taste of Italian noodles, which adds an Italian flavor, but the taste and mouthfeel of the actual product are not ordinary Italian noodles, so a novel eating and visual experience will be generated. The adhesive is a protein plus an edible binder, which is applied to the surface of the shaping units 21 so that the shaping units 21 can be connected to each other and aggregated into a round cake-shaped structure.

It is worth mentioning that the shape of the shaping unit 21 of the novel layered food structure can have more types of changes and is not limited to the three embodiments mentioned in this application.

In summary, the novel layered food structure has a different taste from the existing hamburgers on the market because the food packaging layer 20 is made of wheat or gluten-free ingredients and the shape is not rice grains or the shape of the original hamburger bread. In terms of appearance, each food packaging layer 20 is composed of a plurality of shape units 21 connected together, and has a plurality of integrated aesthetics, unique flavor and multi-layered crispy texture. Furthermore, the shape unit 21 can be a variety of shapes, so that the layered food structure has a novel appearance, and thus the purpose of the novel structure can be achieved.

However, the above is only an example of the implementation of the present invention, and it cannot be used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present invention. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the content of the patent specification are still within the scope of the present patent.
